The ICIQ-FLUTS questionnaire was used to evaluate LUTS over the last 4 weeks. Scores ranged from 0 to 48, and SPSS version 25.0 was used for descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests to analyze symptom prevalence and categorical relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>According to our study, nocturia and urgency were more prevalent in all age groups, affecting 66.1% to 72.3% and 69.7% to 68.9%, respectively. Urge urinary incontinence varies from 25.0% in early adolescence to 24.6% in late adolescence. Urban areas residents reported more urgency (65.3%) and bladder pain (42.8%), while rural areas residents had higher incidences of frequent incontinence (49.6%) and nocturia (77.4%). In addition, Hindus had the most frequent levels of LUTS, especially for urgency (60.7%) and nocturia (70.3%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study highlights the high prevalence of LUTS among adolescents and young females and differences in LUTS among different demographics in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Symptoms increase as age progresses.
